On behalf of the Christ's Church family, I want to express our sorrow for your loss. Sharing the same faith, we understand that Roger is in a better place with a Savior he loves.  That is why our loss is his gain.  We don't believe Roger has ceased to exist.  In fact, everything that made him the special man that he was still exists, just in another realm.  So we don't grieve like those who have no hope.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless.

Dot,
I do wish I had the words that would express how much my heart is aching for you and the boys.  I only know that the Lord is with you all and he will be beside you now and always.  
I love you dearly; my friend, and am here for you. If it is 4:00 in the afternoon or 4:00 in the morning - I am only a phone call away.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and lifting you all up in prayer.
Love,

Mrs. Pannell...  Your husband's life was a life well lived.  He enjoyed making people happy; most of all he enjoyed making kids happy.  Our boys Josh and Reggie both played in his basketball programs until they both were too old to continue.  Those games are some of our best memories.  We appreciate both of you sharing the best of yourselves with so many people, especially in Red Oak.  You and your family will be in our prayers in the coming weeks.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of Roger's family especially Mrs Dot, Mike and Matthew. Take comfort in the memories and years of blessings he provided during his time here. He touched everyone that met him in some way. You were so blessed to have  Roger as a husband and father, others as a brother in Christ, and I as a contractor and customer.  No matter what role we knew him at,he left a special mark. I send my deepest condolences and prayers for strength, comfort and peace as you endure this very difficult time.
